Highly active, entirely biobased antimicrobial Pickering emulsions
(Wiley, 2021-03-18)
We present the development of surfactant‐free, silica‐free and fully biobased oil‐in‐water antimicrobial Pickering emulsions, based on the self‐assembly of b ‐cyclodextrin and phytoantimicrobial oils (terpinen‐4‐ol or ...
Molecular-level photo-orientation insights into macroscopic photo-induced motion in azobenzene-containing polymer complexes
(American Chemical Society, 2021-07-13)
As part of continuing efforts to deepen the understanding of photo-induced mass transport in azo-containing polymers, we compared the diffraction efficiency (DE) during surface-relief grating (SRG) inscription, photo-induced ...
On the importance of noncrystalline phases in semicrystalline electrospun nanofibers
(American Chemical Society, 2021-11-18)
Tailoring the properties of electrospun fibers requires a detailed understanding and control of their microstructure. We investigate the structure/property relationships in fabrics of randomly aligned fibers of polylactide, ...
Quantification and characterization of Ti-, Ce- and Ag5 nanoparticles in global surface waters and precipitation
(American Chemical Society, 2021-06-28)
Nanoparticle (NP) emissions to the environment are increasing as a result of anthropogenic activities, prompting concerns for ecosystems and human health. In order to evaluate the risk of NPs, it is necessary to know their ...
Development of an LC-MS-based method to study the fate of nanoencapsulated pesticides in soils and strawberry plant
(Elsevier, 2021-12-04)
The increased production and use of nanopesticides will increase the likelihood of their exposure to humans and the environment. In order to properly evaluate their risk, it will be necessary to rigorously quantify their ...
Eumelanin : from molecular state to film
(American Chemical Society, 2021-02-02)
Eumelanin, a macromolecular biopigment, is an attractive candidate for sustainable (green) organic electronics. Establishing structure–property relationships in eumelanin films is an essential step to exploit its technological ...
Sample preparation for the analysis of nanoparticles in natural waters by single particle ICP-MS
(Elsevier, 2021-11-12)
With the significant increase in the production and use of nanoparticles (NP), concern is increasing over their release into their environment. Single particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) is ...
Probing interfacial interactions and dynamics of polymers enclosed in boron nitride nanotubes
(Wiley, 2021-11-23)
Understanding interfacial interactions in polymer systems is crucial for their applicability for
instance in adhesives and coatings. Enclosing polymers in a cylindrical volume provides a
system for studying interactions ...
Mixtures of rare earth elements show antagonistic interactions in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
(Elsevier, 2021-06-14)
In order to better understand the environmental risks of the rare earth elements (REEs), it is necessary to
determine their fate and biological effects under environmentally relevant conditions (e.g. at low concentrations,
REE ...
